I’m really not complaining but curios to know why on my last Avios booking (2 4 1 Avios Amex Voucher booking on my wife’s account) we both received full Avios points and Tier points for a TATL Club World flight
Im a GCH and my wife was bronze but got an email a few days after our flight congratulating her on becoming Silver - this is what alerted me to the TP credits!
I have never received Avios points or TP on a Avious booking before
anyone have any idea??
Thanks

Hi
Sounds like an error in your favour as normally no avios or tier poties should be awarded.
Whilst rare there have been a few occasional reports here of this happening.

Welcome to the forums. This is occasionally reported and the usual advice is along the lines of shhhhh. Or in my case, reminiscing about BMI Diamond Club. Just be happy with all the brown stuff that heads in our direction these days you have made it to the top of the pile.

Happened with my partner on a 2for1 booking. Flight got changed three times due to covid restrictions but for some reason she got avios and tier points whereas I didn't!

Have had this happen on economy class bookings more than premium cabin bookings. For the former, it may have been at times related to expanded award space availability as a BA Gold/AA EXP. But more frequently it’s been related to when the airline rebooks the flights, sometimes without even informing me that they changed and then changed back things.
Those included some real shenanigans with people mailing/faxing in boarding cards for award ticket flights.
